I'm only going in half stacked so I don't bottle it if I get a decision where I have to go all-in when I still think my hand has showdown value. By playing only 50bb it makes it easier for me at the...

Ahhhh .... perfect. Well that's my weekend reading sorted out. Tks.

I must have bet the flop hoping to take the pot right there, as I didn't want a 2 to hit later streets, giving him a straight if he was playing Ax suited.... Why would you flat call it?

When I was...

Hello,

I have a general question about getting your money all-in with AK heads-up preflop.

So far, I have been playing AK to see the flop, and then being v careful if I don't hit an A or K....

Hi Guys,

Maybe he hit his flush? He's in the SB, so possibly calls with suited connectors or gap cards to see a cheap flop? Only one heart comes on the flop, but everybody checks so he gets a free card. Then...

Cheers Carroters - some days it feels like i'm hitting that wall at 2NL...!!

Will be posting hands from now on in!

many thanks for the replies guys.

I understand in a way the argument made by sevenandnine - I guess he's saying that sometimes it's better to avoid the all-in pre flop scenario as it takes away...

Hi Jackvance,

If folding the queens on the flop is considered too weak, then I have to play as if he's bluffing or semi-bluffing and we are actually ahead. In that case do I want to go to showdown...

Thanks guys for all the replies - I have to say my read was just like Kickass's - I think he was way ahead and I saw no reason to put anymore money in the pot for him. For me it was fold and move on...

Hello,

can I give you my thoughts on this hand - I just want to see if I am reading boards the right way and not missing anything obvious.

Villain is VPIP 17 and PFR 3 over very small sample...

Yes - I see that you are right. It's when the money goes in where it counts.
Could you please explain how I am to interpret the equity illustration above - are these all the possible hand combos...

At 2NL it's no problem - but I couldn't do it at higher stakes. Looking at my play I think it was rash to go all in with low-ish pocket pairs - after all he only has to pair up one higher card and...

Hello,

this is my first post on a poker forum. I have just started playing poker NLHE about 5 weeks ago - deposited $50 on Party Poker and am currently playing the micro stakes in order to gain...
